Time 41m

Yield 10 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups canola oil, plus 3 tablespoons divided
10 wonton wrappers
Salt, as needed
1/2 pound (U20) sea scallops, patted dry
Freshly cracked black pepper, as needed
1/2 mango, small diced
1/2 avocado, small diced
2 tablespoons coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
1/2 lime, juiced

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, bring 2 cups canola oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out the center of each wonton wrapper. Fry the wontons in small batches until they are brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with a paper towel and season each with a bit of salt.
  • Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons canola oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Sear the scallops in the skillet for 3 minutes per side.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango and avocado. In another smaller bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, hot sauce, and lime juice, and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper, to taste. Pour half of the coconut milk mixture over the mango and avocado and gently toss to coat.
  • To assemble, put 1 tablespoon of the mango and avocado mixture onto a fried wonton. Top with a seared scallop and finish with a drizzle of the coconut sauce. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and transfer to a serving platter.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The scallops were overcooked and the salsa was too spicy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scallops were still raw. I had to cook them for an additional 5 minutes.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I'll probably add some more spices next time.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the salsa was amazing. I'll definitely be making the salsa again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I'll probably reduce the amount of chili pepper next time.

I substituted shrimp for the scallops and it was still delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of scallops, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The mango and avocado salsa really helped to balance out the flavor of the scallops.
